Book this tour! - We had a great time with Loris on this tour! We ended up with only 8 people and our guide was right on time to pick us up. I was very excited to see the process of making both parmigiano and pruscuitto and this tour lived up to the hype! Claudio the owner of the pruscuitto factory was very kind and even let us try his homemade balsamic. One of my favorite experiences while in Italy!

Great tour!!! - We loved this tour! We had our 19yo and 16yo with us and they loved it too. George was a great tour guide and was very informative and knowledgeable. Everyone at the dairy and the proscuitto place was lovely and the highlight was 71yo Claudio, the owner of the proscuitto place, carving up his prosciutto for us to taste. Absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this tour!

Worth it! Great info and fun - Sergio was our host and very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained the process very well as his former occupation and his hobby farm mean that he personally performs many of these tasks on a smaller basis. We were able to see the operations of how to make cheese and how it is tested. Amazing how strict the requirements are. Well worth the tour!

A must do tour when visiting Parma - This was one of the best organized, fun and didactic events I have attended. The facilities we visited were clean, the explanations clear, and the food tasting at the end of each phase were savory and well served. Special thanks to our drivers and tour guides as they made the difference!
